Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor today played down Rahul Gandhi's comment on regional parties "lacking ideology", which has upset some regional allies at a time the party is planning to focus on alliances ahead of the 2024 national elections. Congress's Jharkhand ally Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and Bihar ally Rashtriya Janata Dal have questioned the remark. Estranged ally HD Kumaraswamy, chief of the Janata Dal Secular, has made jibes at Mr Gandhi.
